What Are Surgical Errors?
Surgical errors are mistakes made by medical professionals during a surgical procedure. These errors can happen for a variety of reasons, including:
Incompetence or inadequate training of surgical staff
Failure to properly plan or prepare for surgery
Incorrect surgical site selection (wrong organ, limb, or side of the body)
Leaving surgical instruments or foreign objects inside the body
Anesthesia errors leading to complications
Failure to monitor vital signs during surgery
Surgical errors are not just isolated incidents—they are preventable and often occur due to negligence or a failure to meet the standard of care. When these mistakes happen, they can result in severe, life-altering injuries.
Signs You May Have a Surgical Error Case
If you’ve experienced any of the following after surgery, you may be a victim of a surgical error:
Unexpected pain or complications
Prolonged recovery time
Unexplained symptoms or side effects
Injuries that weren’t disclosed or explained by your surgeon
